>Description:
The programs dvips, dvipdfm and xdvi that are installed with teTeX are designed
to work with A4 paper. But many people use letter paper. It is easy to
configure teTeX to use letter paper, but then all the checksums are messed
up for make deinstall.
Obviously this is by no means a major problem. But the fix below is easy and
unobtrusive.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
This small change to the print/teTeX port will enable users to type
make USE_LETTER_PAPER=yes install
if they want to have teTeX configured for letter paper.
